"I Got Rhythm" is a piece composed by #GeorgeGershwin with lyrics by #IraGershwin and published in 1930, which became a #jazzStandard. Its #chordProgression, known as the "#rhythmChanges", is the foundation for many other popular jazz tunes such as #CharlieParker's and #DizzyGillespie's #bebop standard "Anthropology (Thrivin' on a Riff)".

@TheVinylApe
What a brilliant analysis :(
But what a shame you're confusing John Coltrane with... Charlie Parker. 😵

In case you’re wondering if Stravinsky left his mark on Jazz outside of orchestras. Here’s a really great article about Jazz musicians and their love for “Rite of Spring” (https://www.npr.org/sections/deceptivecadence/2013/05/26/186486269/why-jazz-musicians-love-the-rite-of-spring) and this account of Charlie Parker and his Quintet played for him in the early 1950s (https://www.openculture.com/2016/10/the-night-when-charlie-parker-played-for-igor-stravinsky-1951.html)

It’s cool to hear Bird do a bop reconstruction of Coleman Hawkins’ famous solo on “Body and Soul,” which he has clearly internalized on a deep level.

Charlie Parker, The Mercury & Clef 10-inch LP Collection

This 2021 box collects / reproduces the 10″ LPs put out in the early 1950s:

Charlie Parker With Strings (1950)
Charlie Parker With Strings #2 (1954)
Bird and Diz (1952)
Charlie Parker Plays South of the Border (1952)
Charlie Parker (1954)

I don’t normally collect 10″ records, but got a good deal on this box, which is very well made, reproducing original covers and labels, and with an included book. Neither of the two “Charlie Parker With Strings” LPs actually has the #2 on it which can get confusing – the one with the two birds on it is the second. Most of these reproduce their Mercury labels except for the one just titled Charlie Parker which was only on Clef.

Artwork on all these covers by David Stone Martin. Players with Charlie Parker include Bernie Leighton, Buddy Rich, Ray Brown, Mitch Miller, Max Roach, Al Haig, Percy Heath, Thelonius Monk, Curly Russell, and Dizzy Gillespie (among others). Norman Granz wrote most (all?) the sleeve notes and supervised the recordings.

Still available in the Verve Store (and elsewhere I’m sure) it is well worth picking up.

“I was twenty when I joined Benny Goodman‘s band. Benny was forty-two at the time. But after we played about four bars, we were the same age, you know? That’s what jazz does to you. It has nothing to do with race, creed, or age; when two people play together, that’s all that counts.” - Terry Gibbs

Read the first of our two part interview with Terry Gibbs. This conversation was captured four days after Mr. Gibbs’ 100th birthday. In part one, we cover the Dream Band, learning from Fred Albright, working with Benny Goodman and Charlie Parker, providing music for Regis Philbin and Steve Allen, and more. Dream Band’s ‘Vol. 7: The Lost Tapes, 1959’ is out now on Whaling City Sound

R.I.P. Roy Haynes (1925-2024)

I was very sad to hear of the death yesterday (12th November) at the age of 99 of legendary jazz drummer Roy Haynes, one of the last survivors of the bebop era of the 1940s. Roy Haynes had a career that was not only exceptionally long but also exceptionally prolific: just look at the discography on his Wikipedia page! If I can add a personal note, he features on the first ever Charlie Parker LP I bought when I was about 15 and which I still have. I bought it on impulse, not really knowing who Charlie Parker was, was this record that turned me onto his music and I’ve never turned off.

No information is provided on Youtube, but the sleeve note reveals that the track was recorded from a radio broadcast live from Birdland in New York City on March 31st 1951 using a primitive disc recording machine by an amateur recording buff called Boris Rose. The sound quality isn’t great, but he deserves much greater recognition for capturing this and so many other classic performances and preserving them for posterity.

The personnels consist of Charlie Parker (alto saxophone), Dizzy Gillespie (trumpet), Bud Powell (piano), Tommy Potter (bass) and Roy Haynes (drums).

Here’s what the sleevenote (written by Gary Giddens) says about this track:

“Anthropology is an “I Got Rhythm” variation which originally appeared, in a slightly different form, as “Thriving on a Riff” on Parker’s first session as leader. The tempo is insanely fast; the performance is stunning. Bird has plenty of ideas in his first chorus, but he builds the second and third around a succession of quotations: “Tenderly”, “High Society”, “Temptation.” Gillespie’s second chorus is especially fine – only Fats Navarro had comparable control among the trumpeters who worked with Bird. His blazing high notes tend to set his lyrical phrases in bold relief. Bud, the ultimate bop pianist (and much more), jumps in for two note-gobbling choruses: no quotes, though, it’s all Powell. The four bar exchanges that follow demonstrate Haynes’s precision.

It’s a very exciting track not least because of the contributions of Roy Haynes, not only in the chase sequence mentioned in that quote but throughout the track where he demonstrates tremendous energy and imagination as well as control at such a high tempo.

Rest in peace, Roy Haynes (1925-2024), one of the greatest of all jazz drummers.
